HSR Workers, advocates urge Horwath to reverse decision on LRT privatization

HSR workers and union advocates are calling on Mayor Andrea Horwath to reverse council’s vote to allow a third party to run the future LRT system. The decision was solidified Wednesday through a ratification vote.
It appears that the next step is, which third party operator will run Hamilton’s light rail system for the first 10 years. But, those who work and represent employees are warning the city that much more will be lost if they don’t allow the public sector to take over right away.
